Good news! DocBookWiki is now in Debian unstable, albeit in the non-free archive (due to a silly licence problem with a Javascript file). If you are using Debian unstable, you can just "apt-get update ; apt-get install docbookwiki" to install it.
A couple of caveats: * I produced a few testing Debian packages before the official one was accepted. Because these were never official, the official package makes no attempt to cleanly upgrade from them. For this reason you must manually purge any existing DocBookWiki package you may have installed (dpkg --purge docbookwiki). This will not be necessary for any future upgrades, just this first one. * Similarly, if you have installed docbookwiki from source, you are likely to encounter problems if you try installing this one on top. Remove it first (including dropping any webnotes database you may have). * The biggest change to the upstream version is that the package is located in /usr/share/docbookwiki rather than /var/www/books, due to Debian policy. The package will attempt to configure Apache to load http://localhost/books from this location, however. Similarly the books.conf file has been moved to /etc/docbookwiki (which required patching a few files). * The other patch that I have applied (and Dashamir will roll his eyes at me for this) is the one described in my bug report here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ msg00124.html. Although Dashamir can't replicate the bug, I *swear* that it occurs for me; without this patch, the path to images is wrong. Maybe someone else could try to verify? * update.sh still isn't working for me either (per the bug report here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ msg00112.html), but a fix for that isn't included in this package. I'm working on one and will submit it to Dashamir hopefully for the next minor version. That's about all. Please try the package out and let me know how you get on. -- Jeremy Malcolm LLB (Hons) B Com Internet and Open Source lawyer, IT consultant, actor host -t NAPTR 1.0.8.0.3.1.2.9.8.1.6.e164.org|awk -F!
